    I saw a quilt like this somewhere (can't remember where) and thought "what a great way to use up scraps". You sandwich your quilt, then sew the scraps on which also quilts it. I actually made 2, but didn't take a picture of the first one.

    So are the edges left raw or do you turn them under?I can't tell by the picture . I really like the looks of this quilt can you explain in more detail and possibly show the back?

    Great idea! You could probably sandwich the quilt and add the scrappy patches as they accumulate. Kind of a work in progress.

    raedar63: I used a wavy rotary cutter to cut the pieces and the edges are left raw - I just sewed around the edges. I'm sorry, I don't have a picture.
    QuiltsRfun: I like your idea of having the sandwich ready for adding scraps as you have them.
    If/when I ever make another one, I think I'll use bigger scraps.
